Water Treatment Plant Filter Rehabilitation Phase A

The City of Poway is undertaking the rehabilitation of its Lester J. Berglund Water Treatment Plant through Phase A of a filter system upgrade, focusing on the replacement of filter media in Filters 5 through 8, inspection of underdrain systems, repair or replacement of damaged piping, and structural repairs to existing infrastructure. The work is confined to the current facility at 14521 Lake Poway Road, Poway, California, with no expansion of treatment capacity, qualifying the project for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15302(c). The project has been formally exempted from environmental review, and a Notice of Exemption has been filed with the San Diego County Clerk and the Office of Planning and Research, with supporting documentation submitted in hard copy format. The sole point of contact for inquiries is Mary Piscitelli, Associate Planner, reachable via email and phone, while Robert S. Weber, Principal Engineer with the City’s Department of Public Works, serves as the lead agency contact for technical coordination. No contract value, pricing structure, or formal procurement method such as LPTA or best value has been disclosed, and the project does not include detailed specifications for inspection standards, packaging, invoicing systems, or federal contracting clauses. The work is expected to be performed on-site, with acceptance also occurring at the plant, and the City of Poway Department of Public Works is responsible for overseeing and approving all deliverables. No federal acquisition regulations, contract type, award basis, or socioeconomic requirements were included in the available documentation, and submissions adhered only to state-level environmental compliance procedures rather than formal federal procurement protocols.
